#WorldPolioDay, observed on October 24, is an opportunity to raise awareness about polio prevention and the global effort to eradicate this disease. Polio, or poliomyelitis, is a highly infectious viral disease that primarily affects children under the age of five, causing paralysis and, in some cases, death. Thanks to the global vaccination efforts led by organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and Rotary International, polio cases have dramatically decreased worldwide. Symptoms to Watch For: - Fever - Headache - Vomiting - Muscle weakness or paralysis #WorldPolioDay #PolioEradication #Vaccination #Hygiene #Sanitation #Awareness

Immunisation protects children from dangerous and potentially fatal infections such as polio, measles, whooping cough, and tetanus. By taking Immunisations, children build immunity against certain diseases, lowering their risk of infection. Immunisation does not only protect those who have been vaccinated, but it also helps to prevent infectious diseases from spreading in the community. When a significant number of the population is vaccinated, diseases are less likely to spread, which reduces the load on the healthcare system and healthcare costs for families and the government. Here are some of the most important immunisations for children you should know about. ? Diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough (pertussis) (DTaP) ? Polio (IPV) ? Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) ? Chickenpox (varicella) ? Influenza (flu) every year ? PCV for pneumococcal ? Menactra for meningitis ? Hepatitis A ? Gardacil/cervarix for HPV ? Dtap for pregnant women (whooping cough ?

World Polio Day became a day to raise awareness of the ridding of the world of a crippling, potentially fatal viral infection known as polio.? Polio is an infection, poliomyelitis, common in children under 5 years that can result in irreversible paralysis or death. Because most are vaccinated, the disease has been reduced by over 99%, and today it can only be found in a few countries worldwide. This year’s theme, "A Global Mission to Reach Every Child." highlights the work being done to ensure that every child, particularly in areas still at risk from polio, gets the vaccine. However, despite all the gains made so far, polio remains quite prevalent in some countries. #WorldPolioDay #EndPolioNow #PolioEradication #GlobalPolioEradication #VaccinesWork #EradicatePolio #FightPolio #PolioFreeWorld #EndPolio #VaccinationForAll #PolioAwareness #RotaryEndPolio #PolioEradicationInitiative #GlobalHealth #PolioVaccine #PolioPrevention #MissionToEndPolio #HealthForAll #EndPolio2024 #AWorldWithoutPolio Augsburg Habila Sudhir Singh Rathore Pragya Rathore

What is Hepatitis? Protect Yourself and Your Loved Ones ?? *Hepatitis* is more common than many realize, affecting millions of people globally. It's a silent threat that can go undetected for years, making prevention and awareness vital.

Monkeypox, Hepatitis: How Is This Happening? Dr. McCullough Wants to Know: Did They Take the Vaccine? "And that's the setup [COVID shot or infection] for a relatively innocuous adenovirus 41 to cause hepatitis. Now bring in monkey pox. Is it conceivable that mass vaccination now is allowing outbreaks of other contagious viral illnesses? I think it is. Obviously, for each case, we need to know: did they take one of the COVID-19 products?"
